Check

story about one of my paintings from a few years ago that I didn't know
about. They have some great tips on how to select art for small spaces.

Coffee Break in Provence
This is an unusual composition for me. While stopping for a caffeinated pick-me-up in the shade on a hot summer day in Aix en Provence, I snapped a picture of my drink. I always love the event that some European countries make of their coffee. I meant to take a picture of the coffee with the sugar and cookie packets that accompanied it, but also captured some of the background, which was a sunlit street. I decided to make that part of the painting, even though it is only on 8"h x 6"w stretched linen.
This painting is available at the Southern
Alleghenies Museum of Art in Ligonier, PA. It is part of the show I am having with my mother, Jolene Joyner, called "Looking for the Light in Dark times."SOLD.

Summer Afternoon in Aix en Provence
Afternoon shadows appear on the sidewalks and buildings of Aix en Provence on a hot and lazy afternoon. Everyone walking outside sticks to the shadows as much as possible to avoid direct sunlight. Frequent stops at outdoor cafes for refreshments is necessary. Oil on 30"h x 24"w stretched canvas.

Bite
In my house and at various family functions, there is a little thing called the "Jonelle Tax." This tax permits me to take bites of everyone's food. The rule is, if I say, "Bite", everyone must pay up. The cats and dog also have a similar rule, but it only applies to foods that are healthy for them. They can't talk, so they just paw at us or sit one inch from our plates until we can't ignore them. In this case, I purchased these macarons from Gaby et Jules in Pittsburgh, and I decided to start my taste test with the lemon one. Stay tuned to see paintings of this plate of macarons later on in the taste test. Oil on 6"h x 8"w stretched linen.

A sunny picture for a rainy day (it is raining where I am today, at least.) Hopefully this rain will bring about lots of fruits, veggies and flowers for the upcoming farmers markets, as can be seen in this painting. Oil on 12"h x 16"w stretched canvas.

Happy Hour in Provence
This cafe scene was the reward after several failed attempts to get to
Provence in 2019. There were many flight delays which almost lead to
the airline canceling the entire trip. Fortunately, the airline
decided to make the flight 30 hours after it was originally supposed
to leave, but we had to make a detour to Lyon to get to the originally planned destination of Aix en Provence.
When we finally arrived in Aix two and a half days late, the
suitcases were dropped in the room, and we made a beeline for the
town center, bustling with cafes, for a pastis and a quintessential
happy hour meal. This was the view from our table and our first glimpse into the lively town. Oil on 24"h x 36"w stretched canvas.
